More than 1,000 prison inmates have been restricted to a single building for the past two weeks while officers search for 100 utility-knife blades stolen from a paint shop. The single-edged blades make "the perfect concealed weapon," said Lt. Ken Lewis, a spokesman at the California State Prison, Los Angeles County. No arrests had been made as of last Tuesday. The blades were taken from the tool room in the auto body paint shop after someone forced the door open, Lewis said. The paint shop is part of a vocational training program. The theft was discovered Jan. 5. About 1,060 inmates in a maximum-security sector must eat in their cells and are not being allowed to receive packages or telephone calls, attend religious services or use the exercise yard, Lewis said. |
